Mt. Diablo Unified trustees recess to closed session to discuss negotiations, personnel and liability claim

The Mt. Diablo Unified School district board of trustees recessed to closed session at 5 p.m. on Feb. 12, 2025, to discuss labor negotiations, potential discipline or reassignment of a public employee, anticipated litigation and a liability claim naming the district.

The closed-session items listed on the agenda were: negotiations under Government Code section 54957.6; discipline, dismissal or reassignment of a public employee under Government Code section 54957(b)(1); conference with legal counsel on anticipated litigation under Government Code section 54956.9; and a liability claim by Susan Carr under Government Code section 54956.95. The board’s public minutes for the meeting record the board’s intent to adjourn into closed session on those items but do not include any discussion or outcomes from the closed session.

Trustee Nzewi, Trustee Mason, Trustee McDougall and Trustee Linda Mayo were present for the meeting; Trustee Kount was absent. The meeting opened with roll call and moved directly to the closed-session agenda item; no public speakers addressed the board before the recess to closed session.

Because closed-session discussions and deliberations on the cited Government Code sections are confidential, the transcript and public record for the meeting contain only the agenda descriptions and the board’s announcement that it would adjourn to closed session. No motions, votes or formal decisions related to the closed-session items appear in the public portion of the transcript provided.
